RIP Paul Durcan. Here's his fine poem:

Bella Caledonia is such an important part of the discourse in Scotland, esp amidst the blitz of lies that has infected social media. Generous, thrawn, pluralist, opinionated; all these things & more. A champion for new voices. Please support Bella's work here: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/backing-be...

The land-year all fresh and new-formed.

Just finished re-siting our lovely bothy on wheels. So glad it has found a new home and fine new owners. A life chapter closes as the year ends; who knows what this next year will bring!

Sunset diggering...
